Off topic but I'd love to see a backdated analysis of Phil Jones before his injuries ruined him ,I remember watching him for blackburn when they played united and he completely dominated a prime Rooney, he ended up a laughing stock but as a 19 year old he was a beast,I also recall a cl game when we played Madrid where he was asked to mark cristiano Ronaldo which he did with ease ,his career obviously fizzled out but ferguson did say he could be uniteds best ever defender not long before he left
This message is for those impatient supporters Before over expecting from Yoro Just remember that leny Yoro is just an 18 year old boy even younger than our star boy kobbie so don't over expect from him There will be a time when things might not go well for him which i don't wish for Just keep supporting him Sooner or later he will be there competing for us in a highest level After all he is one of us now
True, defenders especially require more time and experience to grow compared to other positions. The lad, if things go well, is one for the future and I won't expect much from him at least for the next 2-3 years. Just happy that for once (fingers crossed) we didn't miss out on another Varane.
Players of that age being instant successes at the top level are very rare, especially at center back. Sure we can point to Rooney, Mainoo, Pedri and now Yamal, but how many center backs? De Ligt maybe? Even VVD wasn't considered world class until he went to Liverpool, and was still playing at Celtic and Southampton in his 20s. Now he's the benchmark for a near perfect CB.
@@b4nterontilt245 yeah right. got praised by the whole football world, ex players from rival teams who normally don't do this, played a half season at the highest level and just walked in the england midfield, had the highest passig accuracy from all midfielders at the euros, scored in the fa cup final against city and was voted MOTM is in the top 10 for best young player of the year and the only thing that comes to your mind is saying he is mid was the most overrated EPL player🤣HOW can someone be so ignorant, i mean seriously🤣
@@theninja99 Precisely the point. They are already at capacity for matchday revenue and so much room for broadcasting revenue growth by letting non local fans who can't be bothered to watch Ligue One see a vibrant atmosphere through these videos and perhaps give it a go. They can't just keep relying on matchday revenue.
Integrity right here, not just jumping on the 'welcome to united' bandwagon, but actually good in-depth research that highlights not just the positives but also potential issues and weaknesses that we can expect. Love the attention to detail and you definitely earned a sub. Gonna watch your videos on future signings if you make them for sure. Thanks for putting the time in.
Wow thanks a bunch! This is the first video where it's not footage dominated (even though there's always constant commentary like this one). Often times the French, Portuguese and Spanish leagues in particular ban our videos within hours so I put them on Patreon instead... But thought I'd give a try on RU-vid by tweaking the presentation/show less footage to see if it evades the copyright overlords...6 hours and counting, so we shall see 😅 But thanks again for your donation and kind words.🙂
@@anthonyeconomou6954 If he goes to Real Madrid that means he has won something. As long as Man Utd win titles, I dont care. Hopefully in 5 years, Man Utd have good enough academy that produces Leny Yoros. I care only about ckub not players like these modern day fans who follow a club to support a single player.
Ugarte, de Ligt , Zirkzee and now yoro . You are fast becoming my favorite channel on RU-vid. I appreciate your impartial and expert analysis of United targets. Keep up the great work
@@PythagorasinBoots Mate, the way we've approached this window is already a massive contrast to the last 10-12 years. Getting our hands on two of the most sought after youngsters in Europe this early in the window is a big statement of intent. I'm also impressed with how we've felt with the Branthwaite saga. Woodward and Arnold would've spent all summer negotiating with Everton only to end up panicking late in the window and paying over the odds for a bang average player. Looking at our current squad, which positions do you reckon we need to strengthen next?
At this point you should get a job as a scout or a director in a football club who knows, you've always been accurate to the most part of your analysis, big fan here from kenya, keep doing the good work.
I had to subscribe when I heard this professional analysis. Clearly he has done the research, watched the player and reviewed his stats. Finally, a proper break-down of the player's ability instead of the typical biased opinion depending on the team they support. It's always interesting to watch new players with potential arrive in the Premiership. It's often hard to know if they will adapt well. Thankfully, players from Ligue 1 usually translate over quite well to the Prem because of their technical skills, and Yoro's youth and willingness to learn will serve him well. From the little I have learned about him, I think he will suit United. Very interesting video. Thanks
Hi phytagoras. I am a huge fan of yours. I remember watching your video about rasmus hojlund and how perfectly accurate you were about him. I really pray for good things to come to you, you would make an excellent sporting director or at the lower levels an exceptional scout. Your analysis about players have been sooo spot on. Keep the good work up.
To be honest, I don't watch much of the game play highlights. It is your audio analysis and stats. It helps when you show the eye-test telling a different story from the stats but it is not something I can't do without. Your critical and objective analysis is what we come to watch/listen and not highlight reels. Super work you are doing. you clearly must have been a scout or developmental coach.
I think the fee isn't 60M. As I've understood it the actual fee is £42M with 10M in addons (4M of which are supposedly easily obtainable, and 6M are supposed to be hard to achieve) that aren't supposed to come into play until 3 years in. I think this is what Ornstein said. It would be 60M, but in Euros, and only €50M up front, raising to €60M. Anyways, great analysis of him. I sure hope we also get De Ligt also. Those two and Martinez taking turn in the backline sounds like a great start to forming a really solid back line for the future. If we don't get another CB of that caliber and have to stick Yoro on the bench and watch Maguire play, I will be sad.
If he hits his peak at 24/5, and is looking anything decent, Madrid will be in his ear again telling him to run down his contract again, so he can join them on the cheap. Risky transfer for United. They could just be a training ground for him.
One thing i like about this channel is that its not biased. Always saying the good and bad at every given moment. I really love it...continue ur work. Especially the critic part...at least it will make u different from other RU-vidrs
You’re the most objective analyst i hv found, especially saying you cant see him taking on the likes of messi right now, and the subsequent comment. Love it. All the other idiots just hype him up and show all his best highlights. There’s one who called him the perfect defender… give me a break. Those ppl make me despise youtubers but fortunately there are fine ones like you
Just in case you’re ever worried about not doing a video because you don’t have the footage, this video proves that the analysis makes the content good, not the highlights.
video popped up at the right time!! you have the most unbiased and factually accurate descriptions of footballers current ability and potential on the internet, i always wait to see your opinions on players. fantastic work sir, and hopefully there are bigger opportunities coming your way!
Yoro is 18 so I'm okay with this analysis for an 18year old. Three things are key for me for an 18yr old defender; Football Intelligence, winning mentality and Agility...Every other thing can be developed.
Pythag has hit a home run with this video. Yet another unbiased and balanced review. A lot of perspective to those caught in the hype who havent seen him play. Top top talent but still rough around the edges as you'd expect at just 18. Funnily enough the one player i dont see YORO compared to who i think hes actually most similar stylistically to is Joel Matip! Especially with those long limbs. Would really love to see you do a video on Jarell Quansah at some point brother. There is already a lot of talk that he will be Slots preferred partner to VVD (more suited stylistically)and so he could have an even bigger role to play next season. He is a very intriguing option and is currently being slept upon IMO. Maybe after the transfer window?? 🙏 Love your work.
Nah I wish I had it ready earlier, posted as soon as I finished it, was a major shift needed to get it out not too late because already saw a lot of content posted on him. Thanks for the love though!
Just wanted to say I love your videos. Been following you for a while now, but your attention to detail and accuracy is refreshing if i'm being honest.
It seems like most of Yoro’s problems come down to poor decision making and lack of focus, at least in most situations. This is good to hear because it’s to be expected of a player his age tbh. It’s definitely something he’ll gain with experience. Using him as a backup to De Ligt would just be the perfect pairing for United rn. Quality in depth, suited play styles, and both for around the same that Branthwaite would’ve cost alone. It’d be great business.
Can only really make 1 a week/4 a month because the more premium package is out of my price range at the moment. De Ligt & Ugarte are re-uploads and the Euro ones didn't require finding footage.
@@PythagorasinBoots The re-upload is good/smart/efficient. No need to reinvent the wheel. Little things to fix like wrong clubs for players that’s moved 2+ times since your last analysis on them. Absolutely amazing work regardless, things slips past everyone. Keep going boss 💪😮💨👌. Mog the haters🗿.
@@MSH2113 Romano said 62M euros, and thats add ons mate, if he reaches the add ons then its not overpay because he´s a massive hit that can go for the next 15 years. For now we just signed the best young CB of the world for 44M quid, its a very good deal, we paid double for Maguire.
This is some terrific profile analysis tempered with high professionalism and sense of football propriety in terms of expectations on potentials rather than a star. I think the INEOs know what they're doing based on the current trajectory in the negotiations on new recruitment. I suspect they don't expect him to gung-ho deliver like that, hence their target of other matured and accomplished CBs. As per the price tag on Yoro, well, it is what it is. You want him, you pay the price good job brother
Great video, just the type of analysis i was looking for. The one part of his game that doesnt just come of as inexperience for me is how he deals with attacks from wide areas. As you mentioned, he could get drawn out and agile players could take advantage, he sometimes seems a bit rash as if he feels he has to do everything himself meaning he sometimes loses his very impressive ability to read the game and gets somewhat tunnel visioned and mainly from crossing scenarios, low or high his ability to track player movements definatly needs work. Id see him struggling with the fasl low cutbacks commonly seen in the prem and just having some teething troules in terms of approaching blocking or clearing crosses, as you said he seems to get ahead of himself and not take the time to properly set himself up for these type of defensive situations. Overall though, he has natural comfort to his game, great physical attributes and very impressive mental attributes for someone that young. I dont see him taking more than 3 years to become a very reliable option you would consider making a regular starter. Hopefully man utd will be less of a shitshow by then and although he could be a constant starter, we wont be relying on that to be the case.
Even with the limited footage, I still think you manage to describe the player ability precisely. I just feel that you are really good in this field, my only suggestion is that you might need to add a subtitles to your video. Keep the good work man👍🏼👍🏼 Supporter from Malaysia
love it how you breaking it down , i really didn't know much about him but saw a bunch of guys arguing that he can reach beckenbauer level defender and i was waiting for your analysis to decide hahaha
I always try and see how players in other European leagues stack up against English teams in Europe, seeing how they cope with the different playing styles etc and he smashed it in their home leg against Villa, looks a great prospect. United have made some really good, really smart signings which as a Chelsea fan, I envy. These are the signings we should be making, not just stockpiling in one position!
Love your videos man, you do incredible work. Just on the footage discussion, as an autistic fella who does not do well with eye contact, I struggle whenever a video cuts to someone just talking - I love looking at the numbers and comparisons of other players while you're talking, but also some kind of split screen would work too (it's only when it's JUST the talking head that's difficult). But that's just my input, and I hope it doesn't sound like a critique, your videos are incredible, just wanted to offer an insight on why the talking-head clips don't always work for some people! Us neurodivergent folk love those facts and figures haha.
Seeing us buy Yoro makes me understand why Ten Hag asked for Rene Hake. He'll really help him defensively and also help his long passing and line breaking passes.
Spot on analysis. He knows he needs game time to grow. Could be a reason why he chose utd, apart from the wages. He knows he won’t get the same game time at Madrid. Win win for Yoro and UTD and possibly Madrid in the future.
Hey pythag could you do a series of analysis on legends like Brazilian legend R9 and his best season compared to other legendary strikers and compared their best seasons to his or Messi vs Ronaldo best seasons Trust me I already know how good these goats are but it would interesting to see a pro analysis perspective on it Like if you're interested too
Thanks for this...next can you do a video on mikel merino and his transfer to arsenal and if he can help solve the left hand side problems and if he can also solve the issue of helping Rice in build up since Rice isn't comfortable with build up responsibilities
It is worth noting that your assessment of him, while sound, needs to acknowledge that there are several factors worth addressing, those being his young age, the fact that United are a much bigger team with better players than he'd be used to at Lille and lastly, the fact that the EPL is a much faster league which will push him to develop at a quicker rate. I'll be interested in seeing where he is in terms of progression when he's 21. I predict that United will have a world class centreback at that point. I'm sure that Real and Barca will be sniffing around, testing the waters. I wonder, prior to this move, if the player genuinely wanted to play for Real and if so, whether there is an understanding that if Real come in with a big money offer, that United will accept, or whether this move has satisfied his ambitions for the moment.
So the fee ended up being £42m, which is not a big shock. Right around your estimate but bumped up a bit due to the kinds of teams who were after him (United, Real, PSG, Liverpool). Ten Hag has been extremely good with development at both Ajax and United, so hopefully he's the right person to bring him to his full potential.
I love all of your videos man. One of my fav channel to watch on RU-vid. Keep it up 🫡 Also want to ask you an important question. Is Yoro a better talent and has a higher ceiling than Cubarsi
At 18 , he is the kinda of youth base we are building on, this also reminds he is only 18, United fans need to be patient & positive with him and as time comes he is going to be a BALLER. He is got that AURA and he is a UNITED candidate through & through 🤩😇😈🛑
Jarell quansah analysis? The best young CB I’ve seen with the ball at his feet Icl, he’s targeted bc people don’t want to go up against van dijk and he still handles them easily. Would be a great video for you to make
Every signing is risky. Man Utd paid based on potential and for the future. I didn't watch him, but the fact Real Madrid and Liverpool went for him shows he has that potential. I think Man Utd should get another player in De Ligt to take the pressure off Yoro.
I think he's going to struggle initially without support and it's going to have a adjustment season my issue is I don't sure if I think Manchester United in their current stage with their current manager is the most nurturing place to go for your Premier League debut
Scalvini has an ACL, Silva probably won't leave this summer and focusing on transfers as they are what helps us grow/gets more views. Cubarsi I will probably do once the transfer window shuts/some point in the new season.
